Cincinnati, Ohio-based Amazon bestselling Author of From Africa to 1,500 Kroger Store, Manny Addo will be sharing his success story on how he was able to get his shea butter into 1,500 Kroger stores at the New Americans Book Fair 2024 on Saturday, September 21, 2024, at the Columbus Metropolitan Library, Karl Road branch beginning from 11am to 5pm.
Manny Addo came to the United States from Ghana with a lot of skill, drive, and intellect with a dream to start a business that could thrive.
Upon meeting an African American colleague, Manny realized his opportunity: shea butter sourced from Ghana and sold in the US.
“True Shea was born,” Manny Addo told the NABF.
Today, True Shea is sold in Kroger stores across the US.
A strong believer in giving back, Manny wrote From Africa to 1,500 Kroger Stores to help other entrepreneurs, especially immigrant entrepreneurs, learn from his experience.
As you follow Manny’s entrepreneurial journey, you can learn the importance of networking, the art of hard work, how to navigate business challenges, and how to embrace cultural differences.
Manny wouldn’t be where he is today without the guidance and support of family, friends, and mentors.
